I did some rough dimensions comparing to the dimensions of full size cat 980h (pretty much the same as liugong clg888) and the result is 870k is much closer to 1:12 scale. Not 1:14 as advertised.

I’m not surprised as when you see the 870K next to other loaders that are 1/14 it’s all together a bigger machine. Gotta love that extra reach though

Sure doesn't take you long to operate your machines in a realistic manner. Cant wait to see it outside.

I put her in the dirt. I get better operating on the 2nd video. Surprisingly the Lipo lasted approx 35min each and I stopped it at 11.5v Very efficient. Used 5800mah lipo.

Thanks all.
I'm debating on what model to make it. It already has CASE colors so maybe a 1221F?
But just recently i saw someone who made a whole new engine hood and converted to CAT 980. It looked great! Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVfm...2V87JesLCevhOg

I agree, the guy did an awesome job converting his loader

[bigpipespete]

This is your opportunity to have the first Case loader out there.

The 1121G with the grey wheels is a slick looking ride and different then most. Thinking I'm going to make a new engine cover. Eliminate the gray crossover under the hood, fix the air cleaner and ext to the hood and gain much more Batt space.

so i went and got 4 zippy5800 mah lipo battery seems they have different type of connectors than the 870 loader is there a set of adapters from bullet con to the connecters for the zippy batteries

[skeeter]

Yes, search evilbay, they have several kinds/styles. Or you can take it to your LHS & have them solder on new ends fir you, or do them yourself

Just installed Beier USM-RC-2 sound/light card. I'm using default settings with a prerecorded liebherr L586.
Haven't fine tuned it yet. I have to reverse the back up beeper noise. The software has a learning curve.

The pump is so loud on the first video. I've seen the 2nd video before. Thanks!
So after messing with mine, I finally decided on this sound. It sounds throatier in person compared to the video.

Adjusted the turbo noise. It was too loud before. Now it sounds better. https://youtu.be/SYTcsaYZOOQ

Odd, didn’t you just receive the loader a couple weeks ago ? Wasn’t working when you got it ? Repairs should still be covered by the warranty.
